The chapel was built in the early nineteenth century and was completed by 1803. It is thought to have replaced an earlier chapel hall within the old Långvind manor house, which was burned down by Russian forces in 1721; written sources also mention a bell tower destroyed in the same raid. The chapel was granted full ecclesiastical status in October 1849, when the diocesan chapter permitted communion to be celebrated there at any time of year, rather than only on special occasions.
The chapel's history is closely tied to the ironworks that once supported the community. When the works ceased iron production in 1890, and farming activity ended in 1958, the chapel's future became uncertain amid a lack of upkeep. Neither the diocese nor the national heritage authority was willing to take over the building. Instead, the estate's owners separated the chapel and its surrounding land and established a foundation, formed in September 1976, which oversaw a substantial renovation the following year. The chapel remains in the care of this local foundation.
One unusual feature stands outside the entrance: a large iron triangle, said to have been bought from Nianfors church in 1856. Traditionally, it was struck with a large wooden mallet to call worshippers to services—an evocative alternative to a conventional church bell.
Inside, the altarpiece is an oil painting by David Wallin depicting Christ blessing the children. A simple wooden christening stand holds a pewter baptismal bowl, a modest but characteristic furnishing for a chapel of this size and history.
